Manuel Neuer’s voice can be picked up loud and clear by his defenders – and now the Germany goalkeeper will be heard in cinemas too.

For the 27-year-old has added his vocal dexterity to the sequel to the movie Monsters, Inc, titled Monsters University, in which he voices the character Frank McCay. John Krasinski from the American version of The Office has the same role in the English-language version of the flick.

It is not clear whether the Bayern Munich stopper is lining up a career in films once his playing days are over, but movie-goers will get their chance to listen to Neuer at the flicks when Monsters University hits UK picture houses next month.

Neuer enjoyed a fantastic season with Bayern, winning the Champions League, the Bundesliga and the German Cup treble.

His sideline follows hot on the heels of Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta, who played the role of ‘albino pirate’ in the Spanish-dubbed version of the animation Pirates! last year alongside actress Salma Hayek.
